Sona Movsesian with Sara K. Runnels

Author and podcaster Sona Movsesian never meant to become the World’s Worst Assistant. But with Conan O’Brien as a boss, what else did we expect? Sona Movsesian never thought she’d be the World’s Worst Mom, either. But when her twin sons, Charlie and Mikey, arrived, she realized she had been totally naive to all the ways even loving and devoted parents can feel like they fall short at raising kids these days. Life as the carefree, worry-free, stress-free person she was ended, and her reign as The World’s Worst Mom had begun.

In this new book, Sona regales her fans with stories from the trenches, with hilarious how-tos (like how to escape from a WebMD vortex of symptom searching), comics and illustrations throughout (like one where Sona time travels to show off her minivan to her younger self), and behind-the-scenes stories with comedy legend Conan O’Brien (and how being the world’s worst assistant prepared for her being the world’s worst mom). Ever feared you’re the worst parent in the world? Do you feel like the parent you are and the parent you thought you would be are two completely different people? Take comfort in these stories that prove absolutely no one has this figured out, and if you don’t find a way to laugh through the chaos, well, you may be missing the point entirely.
